I got this recipe from my friend Jana also. It is a very simple recipe but very good. I use it for lots more than just loafs of bread. I make braids and rolls with it as well.
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups HOT water
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
5 Tablespoons oil
6 cups flour, divided
Put yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water and let sit. Mix together the Hot water, sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of the flour in a mixer. Mix with whips until dough is smooth. Pour in the yeast and rest of the flour and replace the whip for the dough hook. Turn mixer on and add more flour if needed. The dough should "clean" your bowl. And let it knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grease 2 bread pans. When the dough is finished kneading separate into 2 loaves and work it into a loaf. Place each loaf in a pan and cover with a dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350. Place loaves in oven and cook for about 35-40 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and butter the top while still warm.
